7.5 Mounting
tailBeaconX is a rear, aft position light. Ensure that when mounted, the fin
antennas and the top of the assembly are free from obstructions such as
the rudder or vertical stabilizer. tailBeaconX requires a clear view of the sky
for optimal GPS performance. It may not be suitable for installation on
aircraft where aircraft elevators or other structures would block visibility to
the sky. Control surfaces must move freely through their entire range
without interference.
tailBeaconX is NOT designed to replace an existing rotating anti-
collision beacon.
Determine if tailBeaconX will be mounted to a fixed surface or a moving
control surface.
If installed on a moving control surface, specific
attention must be paid to proper balance. Refer to the Aircraft
Manufacturer's Service Manual to determine if balancing is required
and for balancing instructions.
